Claire Clauster always makes Christmas magic happen. But what happens when the woman behind the tinsel and turkey disappears? In Oh. What. Fun., Michelle Pfeiffer plays Claire, the devoted mum and holiday perfectionist who finally reaches her limit. When her distracted husband and grown children forget to include her in their seasonal chaos, she quietly slips away, leaving behind a vacuum of gingerbread-scented responsibility.
Directed by Michael Showalter (The Big Sick, Spoiler Alert), this new holiday comedy flips the festive script. Instead of another tale about saving Christmas, it asks what happens when the person doing all the saving finally chooses herself. Claire's solo adventure offers moments of freedom, reflection, and unexpected cheer, all wrapped in crisp writing from Showalter and Chandler Baker.
Meanwhile, the Clauster family spirals into comedic disarray. Felicity Jones, Chloë Grace Moretz, Denis Leary, Dominic Sessa, Danielle Brooks, Devery Jacobs, Havana Rose Liu, Maude Apatow, Jason Schwartzman, Eva Longoria, and Joan Chen bring the dysfunctional crew to life. As they hunt for their missing matriarch, they stumble through mall mishaps, burnt dinners, and emotional wake-up calls.
With its sharp wit, big heart, and a standout lead turn from Pfeiffer, Oh. What. Fun. is a spirited ode to the unsung heroes of the holidays: the mums who make it all happen. But this time, it’s her turn to sparkle.
Streaming exclusively on Prime Video from 3 December 2025.
